How to solve the problem of excessive time spent in the game?

I do agree that it would be a huge help if CG addressed this. 

In TB, for instance, I think there are some missions where you would struggle to achieve anything other than 2/2 waves no matter what you did during the missions, with Jabba being a good example. I don't think I've ever played a Jabba mission on the first 4 planets manually. It wins every single time on auto, so some form of just handing us the 2/2 when our team meets certain criteria would be a big help.
